As we age, simple tasks like bathing can become more challenging, and safety becomes a top priority. Sadly, some seniors stop using their bath, and only feel safe with showers. One innovative solution that has gained huge popularity among seniors is the bath lift chair for the bathroom. Designed with comfort, safety and privacy in mind, these chairs offer a range of benefits that can transform the way you feel about bathing.
SAFETY
The primary concern for seniors during bathing is the risk of slips and falls. Bath lift chairs are equipped with 6 bottom sturdy, slip-resistant suction bases, and a solid back providing seniors with a stable and safe way to enter and exit the tub. This feature alone can significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents in the bathroom, giving you peace of mind. The benefit of a lift chair over a stool is it doesn’t move or rock when sat on. The bath lift chair will be your new best friend, no more slip and slide action! Just a smooth descent into relaxation. Chair lifts are strong, waterproof, and lift up to 300 pounds. No more nagging worry that you’ll have to call 911 and the Fire Department into your home every time you take a bath.
PRIVACY
Bath lift chairs empowes a person to bathe independently, preserving dignity and autonomy. The easy-to-use controls allow a senior to lower and raise themselves effortlessly, down into the water, eliminating the need for assistance and fostering a sense of total privacy. No need for a bathroom audience, just VIP bathing. No need to pay out for a complete bathroom remodel, or fit a new expensive walk in tub. Simply use your existing bathtub.
COMFORTABLE
The problem with tubs is they lack the basic ergonomic support needed for those with mobility or strength issues. Bath lift chairs come with comfortable, contoured seating that provides optimal back support. The design ensures a relaxed and enjoyable bathing experience, allowing a person to take their time without feeling fatigued or uncomfortable.
EASY TO USE
Fear not, there is no installation required. Simply place the chair in the bathtub when needed. The lift chair has been made to fit most standard size bathtubs 16” or wider. No engineering degree required. The controls are very easy, just 2 buttons for up and down. It works with large rechargeable batteries, hidden in the easy to use watertight remote.
THERAPEUTIC
The therapeutic benefits of water immersion are well-documented, and bath lift chairs make it easier for seniors to enjoy these advantages. The ability to submerge in warm water promotes relaxation, eases joint and muscle pain, and improves circulation. Seniors can now experience the therapeutic benefits of a bath without the fear of navigating in and out of the tub.
CONCLUSION
Incorporating a bath lift chair into the daily routine of a senior not only addresses safety concerns but also enhances overall well-being without having to do an expensive bathroom renovation. These innovative devices offer a perfect blend of comfort, safety, and independence, making the bathing experience enjoyable and stress-free. Investing in a bath lift chair is a thoughtful and practical choice that can truly make a huge difference in daily life.
5 STAR TIP-
When purchasing a chair lift be sure to look for the bathtub version, as they are waterproof, and have the non slip suction cups on the bottom. You can not use a standard chair lift in water.
